>>Hi Rick,
>> I think I found it--you say it's the OleClass property? For example, for a DBI calendar control, the value is "ctYear.CtYearCtl.1". Would that be the value I'm looking for? You're saying I can get this from the property sheet when I look at the class, I don't have to get it from the Registry?

For IsComObject you only need the progId which you can get entirely from the property sheet. I'd always check for the ProgId minus the version specific last key (ie .1).
